SEDE VACANTE
When uncertainty hangs in the air,
It behooves us to gather in prayer
With the hope that God will
Send us someone to fill
The unoccupied president’s chair.*
*Hat tip to Clint Eastwood
From the archive:
VOTE THE ROCK
If Obama is offering false hope,
Miss “Experience” really can’t cope,
And it’s hard to explain
What we get with McCain,
Then I think I will vote for the pope.
(2008)
VIVA IL PAPA!
I remember the blear Berlin Wall
And the day that it started to fall,
And the part that was played
By a man unafraid –
The inspired and inspiring John Paul.
(2005)
Last week’s limerick:
AMERICAN HERO
All the reds Joe McCarthy once named
Have turned out to be just what he claimed.
Is this patriot praised
For the warnings he raised?
No, McCarthy’s the one who is shamed!
